Molecular epidemiology of cystic echinococcosis [PDF]
Echinococcus granulosusexhibits substantial genetic diversity that has important implications for the design and development of vaccines, diagnostic reagents and drugs effective against this parasite. DNA approaches that have been used for accurate identification of these genetic variants are presented here as is a description of their application in ...
